Template workflow

Run PDF Server on your own templates and iterate: start from the published image with hot reload, preview renders in the built-in tester UI, validate every template and example in CI, then package your templates into your own image. This is the day-to-day loop from first render to shipped artifact — begin at the Quickstart.

  • Write the templates themselves — Template authoring.
  • Every CLI flag and env var, including the validate command and --templates-reload-mode — Reference.
  • Run the image in production (browsers, factory modes, sizing) — Operations.
  • What actually happens on each render (pipeline, browser pool, lifecycle) — How rendering works.
